Synopsis[]
The monsters in Archer's Peak have surrounded the school where Erica and Tommy make their last stand. Even if the House of Slaughter can save them, will the price of their help be too high?[1]
Plot[]
An Oscuratype feeds on Aaron Slaughter's body, then looks up to see Maxine Slaughter. Behind them, several White Masks appear and take down the creature. Maxine takes Aaron's mask, and tells them that they are going to kill the people in the school.
Erica Slaughter shields James from Richards's death, as Cecilia tells her that this is her fault for not following protocol. Erica angrily tells her that they should have come when several dozen kids died, rather than just to kill humans. Cecilia tells Erica that she's going to send her back to the House of Slaughter, and take the children to finish the ritual. However, a dying Richards raises a gun, trying to shoot Cecilia. As she stabs him through the head, Erica uses the distraction to take Bian and James and run. Racing through the woods, Erica carries Bian and has James take her to his house.
Maxine tells the Sheriff to let her inside, as she signals for the other White Masks to find a way in. Inside, Joe Cavanaugh and Tommy Mahoney discuss the situation, as Tommy says he does not trust Erica's people. The lights shut off, and Maxine drives a car through the gymnasium doors in order to enter. She demands everyone get into the center of the room.
At James's house, Erica tells the children that this is going to be dangerous and scary, but they need to answer her questions honestly and directly. She tells Octo to show the children his real face, as she begins the ritual.
